Buddy Up For This Bodyweight Partner Workout {8 Exercises To Do With a Friend}

Buddy up for these 8 bodyweight exercises you can do with a friend. It’s a total body, 20 minute workout including partner planks, squats, dips and crunches! 

Need a little workout motivation and accountability?! Sometimes we all do.

On the days I need a little extra push to lace up my sneakers, I grab a friend for a partner workout. Because squats are more fun with friends {and if you’re anything like me you’re not going to let your partner out-squat you, even when you’re legs are on fire…I’m a little competitive}!

I teamed up with one of my favorite Fit Foodies, Lee {from Fit Foodie Finds}, for this total body partner workout. If you follow me {@lindseybomgren} or Lee {@fitfoodiefinds} on snapchat, you’ve probably seen some of our workout shenanigans from our local Minneapolis gym, Switch. Let’s just say I always have more fun when I workout with Lee!

So grab your partner in crime and challenge each other to cycle through these 8 bodyweight exercises together. It’s a total body workout including planks, squats, dips and crunches that you can do in 20 minutes or less! And those dips require balance ?.
